I don't believe in the end that God gave me cancer, but He certainly could have stopped it and didn't.
Matt Chandler
Image
Could it not be, that God loves me too deeply, by having people challenge me so that I know I'm not perfect.
Matt Chandler
Image
More often than not, we want him to have fairy wings and spread fairy dust and shine like a precious little star, dispensing nothing but good times on everyone, like some kind of hybrid of Tinker Bell and Aladdin’s Genie. But the God of the Bible, this God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, is a pillar of fire and a column of smoke.
Matt Chandler
Image
Apart from worshiping God, everything becomes superficial. But when you understand the driving force behind everything, all of a sudden there's an eternal amount of joy at our disposal, because everything we do is enlightened and enlivened by the endless glory of the eternal God.

Image
The single most loving act we can do is share the good news of Jesus Christ, that God saves sinners.
Matt Chandler
Image
God is more interested in declaring than explaining.
Matt Chandler
Image
My sin in the past: forgiven. My current struggles: covered. My future failures: paid in full all by the marvelous, infinite, matchless grace found in the atoning work of the cross of Jesus Christ.

Jesus doesn't need you to make him palatable...he needs you to be faithful.

We’ve been given the covenant community because we need each other, and together we’ll be more mature, experience more life, and know more joy than we ever would apart from one another.

Image
I'm wise to be a good steward, but I'll never be my own rescuer. The worth thing you can do with fear and anxiety is to pretend you're too strong to have them. The best thing you can do is just to let Him be in charge of them

Progress stems from education, culture, freedom and equality. Without these fundamentals, mankind will flounder.
Matt Chandler
Image
The reconciling gospel is always at the forefront of the church’s social action, because a full belly is not better than a reconciled soul.
Matt Chandler
Image
The heart of our problem is the problem of our hearts.
Matt Chandler
Image
I've discovered most Christians don't know what to do with difficult situations because they have bought into the lie that God owes us (for our good behaviour). The reality of life is that if you live long enough you are going to bleed, cry and hurt. AND God is still God IN that.

Jesus doesn't avoid those who mess up. Jesus runs to those who mess up.

Trying to make the Gospel relevant is like trying to make water wet.
Matt Chandler
Image
Church of Jesus, let us please be men and women who understand the difference between moralism and the gospel of Jesus Christ. Let’s be careful to preach the dos and don’ts of Scripture in the shadow of the cross’s ‘Done!’

There's a strong victim mentality in my generation. I think it's spiritual laziness. They will agree that God is sovereign over all, but then they will say, Well, I wish he would sovereignly take away my lust issue. There's just not a lot of fortitude, not a lot of fight in them.
Matt Chandler
Image
This avoidance of the difficult things of Scripture — of sinfulness and hell and God’s notable severity — is idolatrous and cowardly. If a man or a woman who teaches the Scriptures is afraid to explain to you the severity of God, they have betrayed you, and they love their ego more than they love you.

All ministry that is faithful & eventually fruitful finds its roots in the life, death, & resurrection of Jesus Christ.
